Regarding acting, there is a saying that is respected by many people, that is: [The highest level of an actor is to turn his face into a mask].

This is what Stanislavsky said: "When there is no character, but only the "I" in the situation specified in the script, there is art].

It's a thing, but it's easier said than done.

There are basically only a handful of actors who can reach this realm and are well-known, representatives: Chen Baoguo, Li Xuejian, Leung Jiahui.

Of course, it's not that the acting skills of other actors can't match theirs.

For example, Chen Daoming, Jiang Wen, Ge You, and so on......

These old actors at the same level as them are a handful, and they are comparable in terms of acting skills.

But a comparison will find that the biggest difference between the former and the latter is that the characters created by the latter often have specific styles and characteristics, while the former has almost no characteristics of the actors themselves, and they erase the traces of their own existence when performing.

Do you want to say that Chen Daoming and Jiang Wen can't do it?

Not necessarily.

Times are changing, no matter which industry is rolling in, as an actor, once he loses his distinctive characteristics, it is likely to be like throwing a stone into the water, and after a little ripple, he will be forgotten under the water.

Just like when Li Hanxiang scolded Leung Jiahui: "You are a street boy, I want to praise you as a star, but you ran to be an actor, and you can't make a living!" ”

…………

Of course, Li Qing, who had just hit the road, was still far from that level.

But he was actually very happy, because this was the first time he tried to combine the theoretical content he had seen before with the practice.

He now kind of understands why Zhou Xun said, "I like it when I play".

Because he's creating, creating characters, creating life.

Creation, [Fang Wen].

Fang Wen.

High school education.

My favorite thing to do is to read martial arts novels and fall in love with Li Mi.

He failed the college entrance examination and dropped out of school to become a taxi driver.

Li Mi's parents don't like him.

Li Mi said that if her parents did not agree, she would go on a hunger strike.

Li Mi has a dream that is not a dream, and he and Fang Wen will open a small supermarket together.

No money.

Fang Wen disappeared.

Drug trafficking.

Exposure.

Suicide by jumping off a bridge.

This is where life ends.

That's all the information the script gives.

From the director's point of view, it is enough.

Because there is only one protagonist in this movie.

It's [Li Mi].

The existence of Fang Wen is like a tool man, closer to a symbol, or an image.

That is, [Li Mi has been looking for a waiting boyfriend], or he is [Love] itself.

But Li Qing is not a director, but an actor.

As an actor, if you only follow what the script gives you in a proper manner, you will fall into the [sense of mission] given by the script, as if this character lives to die, then it will become a puppet completely, empty, soulless, untenable, and unrealistic.

So what Li Qing is struggling with is how to make the character of [Fang Wen] come alive and do what he wants to do and should do.

This is also the highest task of an actor and needs to be carried out throughout.

Li Qing has no acting experience, so he can only stumble and grope.

"Does Fang Wen love Li Mi?"

"How do I know? I've never been in a relationship. ”

"It should be love, because if Fang Wen doesn't love Li Mi, the core of this story will collapse. So why did he go to drug trafficking? ”

"Doesn't he need money? Open a small supermarket for Li Mi. ”

"Then did he ever think that it was a point of no return. He went to school! If he dies, what will happen to Li Mi? Doesn't he love Li Mi? ”

"How do I know, the script is written like this, you should go and ask the screenwriter."

"Why did he kill himself? Is it because he is afraid that the drug dealer will kill him after being exposed, or is it because once he is tried, his bottom will be exposed to the sun and fall in Li Mi's eyes? ”

"How do I know ......"

"Before he committed suicide, he said that if it weren't for Li Mi, he would fall in love with that [Fei Fei]. Why? ”

"How do I know...... Wait, is there this in the script? Jing Tian looked puzzled, "Who is this [Fei Fei]?" ”

"Huh?" Li Qing came back to his senses and explained, "Fei Fei is also a drug dealer, and on the surface, he runs a clothing store, but in fact, in order to keep an eye on the nails buried by Fang Wen's side, they use this line to cover drug trafficking. Judging from the script, this woman should also love Fang Wen, and the two of them must have a story, but it is not written in the script, and it can only be regarded as a dark line buried under the iceberg. ”

"Really?" Jing Tian pouted, thought about it, stretched out a finger and poked Li Qing, "Hey! ”

"What's wrong?"

"You help me ask Sister Xun, is this role decided?"

"Huh? What do you mean? You don't want to play this [Fei Fei], do you? ”

"What, can't you?"

"Nonsense, this character has been divorced and had children, look at your tender face, the water is as smart as a little cabbage, how do you play it?"

"Humph!" Jing Tian raised his eyebrows beautifully when he heard this, "Why can't you act, it would be nice to change the script, anyway, it's a small supporting role." ”

"......" Li Qing was a little speechless, "The truth is indeed true, but I have already gone through the back door, this has to take you again, and I have to change the script, how can I open this mouth with Sister Xun?" ”

"If you're embarrassed, forget it, I'll figure it out myself."

"What can you do?" Li Qing had a little headache, pinched his eyebrows, and asked, "Why do you want to play this role?" She doesn't have many scenes. ”

Jing Tian smiled: "It's fun! ”

"Hey, can you be serious?"

"It's just fun!" Jing Tian pouted.

"Alas!" Li Qing sighed and grabbed his hair, "Ah! How can you tell Sister Xun about this? ”

"I'll just say casually, why are you so serious?" Jing Tian waved his little paw and said with a smile, "Hey, don't talk about this, let me ask you, didn't you say before that you wanted to sign up for the Olympic torchbearer?" It's almost the deadline, have you chosen? ”

"Huh?" Li Qing was stunned for a moment, and said helplessly, "Your topic is too jumpy." ”

He shrugged, "Not chosen." ”

"Huh?" Jing Tian's face collapsed when he heard this, "Why didn't you choose?" ”

"No, why do you seem to be more disappointed than me?" Li Qing was a little amused, "It's normal that you didn't choose, and you don't want to think about it, how many torchbearers are there in total?" ”

Jing Tian poked the plate with chopsticks and muttered, "Okay." ”

"But although I didn't make the torchbearer, I got nominated as a runner." Li Qing raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "The number of runners is less than that of torchbearers!" ”

"Huh? Runners? Jing Tian was stunned.

"Hmm." Li Qing nodded, and said with a little regret, "The runner is also very good, but I don't have a chance to carry the torch." ”

"Settle down!" Jing Tian became happy, reached out and patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Think about it, the torchbearer can only run one stick, but the escort runner can run eight sticks, isn't this much happier than the torchbearer?" ”
